SF Executive are working with a PE backed & high growth professional services business in London to source a commercially minded and low ego Chief Financial Officer. As right hand to the CEO and Investor, you will lead on all financial, management and statutory reporting as well as leading a top class finance function to deliver insightful and timely management information. You will be tirelessly focussed on revenue growth, new business opportunities, pricing, and cost management - you will relish the chance to hold an already capable Board to account on all of these fronts. Experienced in the tech enabled services, software, or professional services industries and with a commercial understanding of both B2B clients, you will already have worked at CFO / FD level before in a PE environment. You will have also led on M&A activities. As such you will probably have worked in a standalone / owner managed / PE backed business rather than a division or subsidiary of a group. In the first instance we are looking for talented candidates that could start on a permanent basis within the next few months - a swift start off the back of a recent transaction is preferred. Alongside a generous salary and package, you will get the opportunity to take sweet equity and to work with a hugely talented and engaged Board to deliver a divestment of this business in the medium term. The equity package is expected to yield a seven return for the CFO in the next few years. With the business and being in the London area, we would prefer candidates to be based in this part of the world. We really aren't looking for someone commuting excessively or needing to stay away or relocate.
